This timely keynote addresses the massive changes in our economy and our personal lives that are coming in the next wave of technology, just a few years away. Dave states that we are in a decade of creative destruction that will affect all of us. These rapid changes and dislocations are aided by tail winds brought on by the almost universal spread of access to the Internet. What general kinds of jobs will be lost to automation? What new field will become heated opportunities for entrepreneurs? Dave answers these questions and more in this riveting presentation laced with humor and full of important information for us all.
